Ourea Events races are located in Britain’s most striking upland areas that typically contain features of outstanding biodiversity conservation value and importance. Occasionally, the features that provide this interest can be vulnerable to the wear and tear that may result from the passage of event participants. The risk of ecological damage is carefully assessed during early stages in the planning process for each event, when every effort is made to avoid sensitive ecological interest areas that could be disturbed by the event.

This Ecological Briefing Note has been prepared for the 2018 GL3D event to identify key ecological interest features that contribute to the special character of the event area, with route selection comments to help minimise the risk of localized ecological disturbance.

This Ecological Briefing Note has been prepared for the 2017 SILVA GL3D event to identify key ecological interest features that contribute to the special character of the event area, with route selection comments to help minimise the risk of localised ecological disturbance.

This Ecological Briefing Note has been prepared for the 2016 GL3D event to identify key ecological interest features that contribute to the special character of the event area, with route selection comments to help minimise the risk of localized ecological disturbance.

This Ecological Briefing Note has been prepared for the 2015 Great Lakeland 3Day™ to identify key ecological interest features that contribute to the special character of the event area, with route selection comments to help minimise the risk of localized ecological disturbance.
